Metaphor
Contemporary Art is pleased to announce that a work on paper
by Ward
Jackson, Passage Series, ink and watercolor on paper, 4 x 6 inches, 1988
has
entered the collection of the Museum
of Modern Art, New York.
It is an excellent example of the artist's signature drawing book pages, and demonstrates his typical method of developing ideas for paintings through variations explored in pocket sized sketchbooks. The image relates to a series of paintings and two triptych groups executed in the same year. The broadening of the central vertical band in these emblematic works relates to the artists meditation practice and signals a yearning for transcendence.
Metaphor Contemporary Art represents the estate of Ward Jackson who passed away in 2004.
